My apologies for stating "-vo jpeg" will not work.  Subtitles will show with 
just:

mplayer -sub sub.srt input

or

mencoder -sub sub.srt -nosound -ovc [options] -o output input

But it looks like the -vo needs the -ass option to turn on SSA/ASS subtitle 
rendering.  I was testing without it, and it would not work.  The -vf ass is 
not really needed unless you are using screenshots et cetera.

Hope you get it all working to how you want it.
